LEWISBURG CHRONICLE & WEST BRANCH FARMER. The editor of the Amrrimn Ayriruhu- j rid states that from the experiments for lit last lour years 01 some ui iuu uesi farmers and planters in the States of Del aware, Maryland, and Virginia, herc this fertiliser is used more extensively thau iu any other States iu tho Union, it is demonstrated 'That the most economical application. tf fluauo is at the rate of 200 pounds per acre, sown broad cast, upon very poor land prepared for wheat, and plowed in, nn mat ter lfw ilerp, upon which sow the wheat and harrow or plow in, without disturbing the gmuo. In no case, fail to sow clover upon the wheat, the time for which varies from November to May, in the opinion of iliffavnt pi r sons, for the benefit derived from the guano to the clover and through that to the land, is of more value than the wheat, and the average increase of that is at least five bushels to the 100 pounds of guano used.

The First Annual Commencement, was an occasion of much more thau ordi nary interest aud importance ; both on ac count of the intrinsic merit of the perfor mance", and because it was the first in gathering of the fruits of a noble enterprize. Tho dsy was cool and pleasant, and people thronged to the Hill long before the ap pointed hour. When the Procession ar rived and was seated, tho Hall as well as the ante-chamber was densely crowded in every nook and corner, and hundreds went away, unable to get a foothold within hearing distance. The audience exhibited tho utmost pa tience and decorum during a session of more than four hours enlivened at inter vals by choice music from the Choir and the Danville Band. The ou'.y mnl appro- pos incidents we noticed were occasional interludes from the throats of young in fants, which had found their way thither by mistake, we suppose ; and, we regret to add, audible ebullitions of spleen from children of a larger growth on the platform, whose sense of gentlemanly propriety was not strong enough, it seemed, to control the impulses of jcalou3 bigotry. The room was most beautifully and tastefully ornamented, and after prayer by Rev. Dr. Malcom, the Senior Collegiate class led off with their graduating orations, and exhibited a maturity of thought and tyle, and felicity of allusion and iilustra- ! lion, that would have brought down pbtu- dits from the audience, if it had not been a violation of g-od taste, and the proprie ties of the occasion ; and indeed was only arrested by an intimation to that effect from the acting President.

Most of this little band, together with many of the undergraduates, commenced their course at this institution in its earliest infancy, when buildings, library and appa ratus, were all wanting, and persevered through all discouragements and difficul ties, until now, (in a period of time when other colleges could exhibit no higher grade than a Freshman class,) they go forth, ripe' scholars according to the tes timony of CLanccllor Lincoln and Mr. Buchanan an honor to themselves, to their Alma Mater, and to the faithful in structors, to whose perseverance and skill ful pilotage they owe so much.

On account of the lateness of the hour, he gave his hearers fragments only of the address ; but these abundantly evinced its classic finish and beauty of style, and tho profound scholarship and brilliant talents of its author. We hope it will find its way into print, for permanent use and perusal at leisure. The Acting President, Dr. Taylor, then took formal leave of the Institution, its Officers and Students, referring in brief but fitting terms to tire origin of the Uni versity; tho trials, embarrassments, and privations attending its progress ; and its present success, and assured future pros-; pcrty.

Mr. Editor : The distance from Utica to Syracuse (53 miles) was run in 2 hours. Syracuse, the celebrated city of the Salt Springs, is a place of much enterprise and importance. It lies in a very level vailey, while at a distance around the country is rolling. It is about 1 miles from the. that can ba obtained. Then, after stop Onondaga Lake, a beautiful sheet of water j ping n short time nt the Clifton House, go about 2 miles long, and i miles wide. It lover to the American side, and spend the is on the borders of ibis lake that arc the celebrated Salt Springs. They are found by boring Artesian wells, nnd the water is pumped up into reservoirs ready for use. These springs are owned and managed by '.he State. The modes of making the salt are by solar evaporation, and also by boil ing. On many of tho swampy flits near and in the city, you will see w hold acres of vats with their moveable roofs or cov ers. These arc run off when there is a lair sky, and is done by individual enter prise. Any one who wishes to make sail will be furnished tho water by the State, and it is carried to their works (often 2 or 3 miles aistauti in woooen logs. Alter the salt is made, previous to exportation it is inspected by a Stale officer and the duty paid. It is a penal offence to remove it away without inspection. This duty (now dhout 1 J ct. per bushel) is a State revenue and the income is very great. The citizens of Syracuse are noted for their enterprise, and there is a constant and spirited rivalry between it and the ncigboring towns. From this to Oswego on lake Ontario, distant 35 miles, there is a railroad and cam!, and the citizens told me that they intended to make a railroad from their city to Philadelphia, going down the Delaware river, it appealing that they are 17 miles nearer Philadelphia than New York. After we left this place, the road began to ascend, and we found the country very uneven and rolling, till we passed Auburn, and came to the foot of Cayuga lake. From there past Waterloo, Geneva, and and Canandaigua, the country is level, highly cultivated, and beautiful in the highest degree. The rail road runs across the foot of Ca yuga Lake (the water being very shallow.) taking a circle of about 2 miles. Sixteen miles from the lake, we came to Geneva, a pleasant town that rests at the foot of Geneva luke, one of the most beautiful of all the New York lakes. There is a small steamboat that plies between this and Jef ferson, at the head of the lake ; from thence by cars passengers are conveyed to the N. Y. & Erie rail road at Elmira. Canandaigua lies on a slope running down to the lake ol the same name. The main street which is very wide, runs up from the lake, and out oi the business part of the town. On the higher ground there m a large number of very elegant and costly residences.. The mansion and Sround of Mr. Gre.g, particularly, are of tne ro05t coslv a0(I beautiful description, and I doubt if there is a more elegant seal anywhere in tho country. Mr. Greig was for many j ears a celebrated land-holder, and very many of the farmers of Living ston and other counties derive their titles from him ; ho and some others having bought up very large tracts when western New York was ceded to the Indians. When I passed ho was standing at hi office door, looking hale and hearty though very old. Rochester, celebrated over the world as a very extensive flour mart, lies in a level and fine country, at the falls of the Gen nesee, 6 miles from Like Ontario. It is a city of much importance. It is a city of much importance, having always been the great commercial marl of the whole up river Gennesee country. The Falls are about 130 feet high, and must be very fine when the river is full. The rail road passes over the river (which in this region runsovernbed ol rock) about 200 feet above the Falls. From this city to Buffalo, (except in the vicinity of Attica) the coun try is very level. We passed Butavia in the night, and had a poor opportunity of seeing it. Your readers will recollect that this was the place whence in 1827 or 8 nroso the anti masonic party that for many years swept over the country. Morgan's writings were published here, and ho was arrested at Le Roy, a short distance from this place, taken to Batavia, thence to Canandaigua, and as report says thence to Niagara. I was at that time quite a boy, living but a few miles from here, and recollect very well the excitement it produced. It swept over the country like a mighty hunicanc, and all the misguided actors on both sides were carried away by the maelstrom in which they found themselves placed. This case above all others shows how very easy it is for a few misguided men to in volve a whole nation in excitement. As I was standing inside tho cars, waiting for another train, I overheard theconversalion between two men of a remark or confess ion that had yul transpired, showing up the finale of the whole affair, and perhaps nt some future day may give it lo your readers. I was surprized to find the country for several miles around Buffalo, very low and level, and covered in vast portions with a forest not much of the land being culti vated unless by. drainage. Buffalo iucll is a very fine city, and a great place for business. The amount of shipping, canal boats, and steamboats, was larjic. I would advise travelers going to the Falls, to Wke the boat at this pluce for Chippewa, on the Canada side, thence 6 f miles below the Ful's ; on nn old and poor rail-roid to the FalU ; for the reason the country, though level, is higher, and the first views will be from tho best positions balance of the time, and if thev return to Buffalo, to go by rail road not one like its neighbor over in Vic's dominions, but on a firt class road. I went and came by the rail road, and when I got into the village of Niagara (American side ) I observed on apology for a horse car labeled "to the sustention bridge, and made of thd mist," and imme diately got on top to see all the lions I could, to the best advantage. At the vill age you can not see the Falls on account of the forest on the bank of the river. After riding half a mile, w e came on the bank of the river.an immense rocky chasm some 250 feet deep, and one-fourth mile wide, down at the bottom of which came surging tho water that had just passed over the Falls ; and about one-fourth milo from there, I had tho first view of the Canada Falls. They are much as repre. sented in the engravings, and its green waters, immense white sheet of foam, and cloudy mist, was very grand. The river here is very deep, and the first observation is about the intensely biueish green of the water, a color that 1 have never observed anywhere else. A ride of 2 miles brought us to the noted Suspension bridge. At the bridge is a very large flouring mill that is driven by a turbine wheel away down in the chasm 200 feet below ; a large iron shaft coming up at an angle of about CO degrees. Down on the water a little above, lay the "made of the mist, ' a small steam boat that plies from this place to ihe Falls, running under so that the waters almost touch the bow as she is tossed about by the raging element. It is managed with success, and 1 believe with comparative safety. The country on both sides of the liver is for miles around remarkably level, and above the Falls the banks are very low, and below for miles this immense chasm is cut in the solid rock, doubtless the work of many ages. At the farther end of the bridge, I for the first lime put my foot in the British dominions ; when, taking a carriage, I was in a half hour taken up and then to the Falls on to Table rock where we ar rived in a few moments covered with mist, theu down at the Clifton House, a splendid Canadian Hotel directly in front of and having the finest view of the Falls that is to be otaine-i anywhere.
